Bloober Team, which is already working on a remake of the original Silent Hill game, has given us a closer look at its third-person survival horror game.

Cronos: The New Dawn delivers a haunting journey through time and terror. Set in two eras — the decaying future and 1980s Poland — players are plunged into a world inspired by the real-life Krakow district of Nowa Huta, where survival means bending time itself. Players take on the role of a Traveler, an agent of the mysterious Collective, who emerges from a dystopian future to travel back in time and rescue people before they perish in the apocalypse. As you explore a world on the brink of annihilation, you’ll encounter grotesque enemies known as the Orphans.

The new video reveals intense survival moments inside the Orphans’ nest and offers a closer look at these terrifying creatures. The Orphans are twisted body-horror monstrosities born from humanity’s darkest nightmares. The video showcases their exceptionally aggressive and relentless behavior, turning every encounter into a desperate fight for survival. Most importantly, players must prevent the Orphans from merging. Defeated enemies must be burned immediately. Otherwise, they risk being absorbed by other foes, which triggers a merge that creates an even stronger and faster enemy. The video also reveals part of the story of the mysterious Predecessor, Traveler ND 3500, and their cryptic travel log. Players will journey through unsettling, post-apocalyptic environments inspired by Nowa Huta, a district in Poland, where decaying Brutalist architecture is warped and twisted by reality-bending anomalies.

The game’s soundtrack, created by award-winning composer Arkadiusz Reikowski, adds to the suspense. This track, a collaboration between Reikowski and the Polish-Ukrainian indie folk band Zazula, features haunting traditional vocals that create an ethereal soundscape blending synth horror with surreal, avant-garde textures. The result is a score as eerie and immersive as the world you’re about to explore.

Cronos: The New Dawn will be available this fall on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
